of defense on issues like the surge in iraq and later the surge that president obama authorized in afghanistan was a fundamental point of view that senators should evaluate and as you heard in that clip, senator hagel was reluctant to give a yes or no assessment of his own opposition to it, and wanted to give a fuller description of what his views were at the time. he also did say he disagreed with president obama on the increase in troops in afghanistan. again, key issues that would play out if he gets the job at the pentagon. >> chris, we've seen these things before. this one at least is getting off to a very uncertain start. >> yes. >> we know the drama and all of the positions that have been taken pro and con and the lobbies that have been taken against him, and it's been pretty fierce, and i know he has been doing murder boards and he has been practicing at the pentagon. they've got really good people working with them. you might have expected that he would have, as kelly points out, anticipated this line of questioning from john mccain. >> well, and let me just add one other thing. he is

administration for issues surrounding the use of torture. this is a progressive, liberal, democratic administration. i supported it. i helped to get barack obama elected in 2008 and i continue to support him today but i don't think that it's a good fit for this administration to send to jail an american hero who has worked against torture when those who carried out torture aren't going to go to jail in the future. it just doesn't add up right, andrea. >> thank you very much, bruce. good to see you. thank you for joining us. we'll be right back. tt=eá7bhppm5 >>> and that does it for us for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." tamron hall has a look at what's next. hi, tamron. >> great to see you. in about 30 minutes, a bipartisan group of senators will lay out an immigration overhaul. nbc's first read says it's the first senator mccain signed on to a top obama administration priority since the president took office and may be the most serious bipartisan effort to act on immigration since 2007. all the reaction for you. plus, what could
